Norway has a lot of mountain tops and deep valleys. This means we also have a lot of great
viewpoints. Some of them you have to struggle hard to reach, but others have been made
accessible for all of us. The Norwegian Road Authorities have made several amazing places
to stop in their National Roads program, among these are some very cool viewpoints, like
Stegastein, Vøringsfossen and Trollstigen. In this section we take a closer look at some of the
many cool viewpoints, both the accessible ones and some of the ones that are harder to
reach.
